Course if I could do sums then the comedy impact might have been better.

Hey ho.

 

something like 25-30 hours a week of reading.

I read books when "normal" people watch TV.

 

I posted that when drunk last night. It's probably no more than 20
hours a week, now I've added it up sober.

 

if a book is none of: funny, interesting, original, well written, well
characterised or entertainly quirky, then it's "shit". Don't get me
wrong - when I say "shit", I mean "I didn't really like it very much".
There've only been (I think) 3 books that I've started and found so
poor that I couldn't finish them.

[4-5 books/week]

well, I intersperse "serious" with "not serious" books - for instance,
something like "A Suitable Boy" took me the guts of a week to read,
but I can get through an Ian Rankin "Rebus" novel in a couple of
hours. I also read more than one book at the same time (not literally
of course, but over the same time span).

It is a fairly daft question - I /like/ reading. I also don't sleep
very much.

 

Still quite a lot.

 

But I don't hardly watch any TV, either

 

Ah. Lucky bugger.

I'm always jealous of people who survive on 5 hours asleep a night.
Assuming we live to the same age, you'll have had more 'life' than me
:-(

 

And, now, at work, I've added them to my list. Ta

 

what do you do in your spare time, then?

 

I suppose so. Maybe I should get a hobby?

 

most of the time. Sometimes I would be nice *not* to wake up at 6am
every morning.

I've never thought of it that way, and anyway, you can console
yourself with the fact that I spend most of this extra 'life' reading
books, rather than doing anything, well, more interesting than reading
books.

 

Rebuild 7R gearboxes?

 

ah yes - I don't that sort of thing /at all/.

 

That very question is starting to trouble me, now.

 

Hardly a consoloation - I like reading too

 

I'm such an internet newbie

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^
What the hell's one of those?

Use it on amazon.com, they're always happy to ship it to the UK, I've found.
